12x10 - Another One Gabites the Dust!

[bunniefuu]

DAWN: Pachirisu, Discharge!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

DAWN: Pachirisu, that's perfect! Keep it up!

BROCK: Those Electric-type moves have gotten really slick.

ASH: That's got something to do with all Pikachu's advice!

PIKACHU: [PLEASED]

NARRATOR: It's an exciting and busy day

for our heroes in Chocovine Town,

as Dawn concerns herself with last minute preparations

for tomorrow's Chocovine Contest

the goal of which is to win her fourth Contest Ribbon.

Sometimes it's hard to know,

Which way you're supposed to go.

But deep inside, you know you're strong.

If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.

Stand up! [Stand up!]

For what is right.

Be brave!

Get ready to fight.

Hold on! [Hold on!]

We're friends for life.

And if we come,

together as one,

Complete the quest, that we've begun,

We will win the battle!

Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

[CHEERING]

PACHIRISU: [EXHAUSTED]

DAWN: You're tired, huh? All right, how about a little break?

It's snack time!

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU, PIKACHU, BUNEARY, AMBIPOM: [EAGER]

DAWN: Okay! Pikachu too!

ASH: Thanks! Pikachu can't get enough of your Poffins, Dawn!

DAWN: Great! First, let's everybody get into a line.

Wait your turn.

MAMOSWINE: [ENTHUSIASTIC]

MAMOSWINE: [HAPPY]

PIPLUP, PACHIRISU, PIKACHU, BUNEARY, AMBIPOM: [SHOCKED]

ASH: Wow, that was a quick snack.

MAMOSWINE: [SLEEPY]

DAWN: Don't worry g*ng!

I'll just go and make some more, okay? Okay?

PACHIRISU: [EXCITED]

PACHIRISU: [THRILLED] / [NOTICING]

GABITE: [DEFENSIVE]

PACHIRISU: [SEETHING]

URSULA: Gabite! There you are!

- JESSIE: What have we here? - JAMES: What have we where?

JESSIE: I know I've seen that girl somewhere before.

MEOWTH: Somewhere before where?

JESSIE: I'll try and place the face.

PACHIRISU: [GROWLING]

DAWN: Pachirisu, now stop that!

PACHIRISU: [LEAPING]

PACHIRISU: [PREPARING] PACHIRISU: [SUPER FANG MOVE]

GABITE: [ANNOYED] PACHIRISU: [GRUMPY]

DAWN: That had to have been a new move!

BROCK: Sure was. That was Super Fang!

ASH: Getting mad about that Poffin must've made it happen.

URSULA: What's wrong with that Pachirisu?

PACHIRISU: [GROWLING]

DAWN: Come on Pachirisu, play nice.

PACHIRISU: [ATTACKING]

URSULA: I must say,

someone didn't do a very good job raising that Pachirisu.

Right, Gabite? GABITE: [SMUG]

ASH: Gabite, let's see.

POKEDEX: Gabite. The Cave Pokemon.

Gabite goes wild for precious jewels,

first digging them up and then stashing them in its nest.

DAWN: If you'll look under Gabite's foot you'll understand.

URSULA: All right. GABITE: [SHOWING]

URSULA: The horror! My beautiful Gabite's been soiled!

How dare you!

DAWN: Uhh. Sorry we soiled your Gabite.

Go ahead and say you're sorry.

ASH: See, that's Pachirisu's favorite food,

so, when Gabite stepped on it...

URSULA: If that's all this is about, I can help you.

No Pokemon can resist my Poffins.

URSULA: Here you go. Eat up!

PACHIRISU: [PLEASED] / [SNIFFING] / [DISGUSTED]

URSULA: The nerve!

DAWN: Please, I wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea!

BROCK: I'm sure you're aware of how Poffin recipes

vary for different Pokémon. PIPLUP: [ASSURING]

URSULA: That Piplup.

Hey, you competed in the last Wallace Cup Contest,

didn't you?

DAWN: Me? I did! I mean, we did.

URSULA: Thought so!

Yeah, I still really think your winning that Contest

was a total accident.

DAWN: So tell me. Were you in the Wallace Cup, too?

URSULA: Well, I was there. The name's Ursula.

Of course, since I was eliminated in the first round,

- you wouldn't remember me. - JESSIE: I've got it!

JESSIE: At the Wallace Cup!

JESSIE: She was an early round elimination,

the poor angry loser of a dear.

URSULA: That's it! I won't say a thing about it again!

Though I'll never believe they let someone like you win.

ASH: Hey look! Dawn's skills are why she won that contest!

- How dare you say that! - URSULA: You're right!

URSULA: Thanks to her I started working doubly hard

to become an even better, more beautiful,

more graceful Coordinator!

URSULA: You know, I should thank you for defeating me, Dawn!

Because of you, I am where I am today.

BROCK: What's with her? Why won't she drop it?

ASH: Yeah.

URSULA: Dawn dear, you have how many ribbons?

- DAWN: I've got three of them. - URSULA: Huh! The same as me.

I guess you'll be in the Chocovine Contest?

I can't wait to see what kind of "graceful" moves

you've been working on.

DAWN: Back off! You think after what you said,

I believe anything you say?

We'll settle this at the contest!

URSULA: Ooh! Want a battle? Then you have got a battle!

But you won't win twice!

JAMES: Let's start the Coordinator feud!

MEOWTH: Jess, this could be your big chance!

JESSIE: My thought as well!

Just let those Twerpettes knock each other

on their Twerpish tails!

While I stand with the grand prize!

JAMES: Bravo Jess! How wise!

MEOWTH: You'll knock them down to size!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MARIAN: Feel the port winds, the north winds,

the wharf winds, as they carry their songs and dances!

It's contest time!

MARIAN: Welcome to the contest from the town

of great people coming and going: Chocovine Town!

PIPLUP: [STRESSING]

ASH: Guess Mamoswine moves when it wants.

BROCK: If it wanted to watch the contest,

that would certainly make things a whole lot easier!

MARIAN: Here's what our winning Coordinator will receive.

The beautiful and coveted Chocovine Ribbon!

MARIAN: And up next! I'm pleased to introduce

our esteemed panel of contest judges.

First the chief of the Pokémon Activities Committee,

- Mr. Contesta! - CONTESTA: Thank you Marian.

I'm eager to see what will be nothing but

spectacular Pokémon today, I'm sure!

MARIAN: Next, the head of the Pokémon Fan Club, Mr. Sukizo!

SUKIZO: Chocovine Town is remarkable!

MORIAN: And last but not least, Chocovine Town's own Nurse Joy!

JOY: I hope you're all as excited to watch the proceedings

as me!

MARIAN: And with that, let's begin with our first round!

The Performance Round,

where one Pokémon per Coordinator puts on a show.

So please put your hands together

for our first contestant!

ASH: Check it out, Dawn's up first.

PIKACHU, PIPLUP, AMBIPOM: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Now Buneary, spotlight!

BUNEARY: [APPEARING] DAWN: All right. Bounce!

BUNEARY: [BOUNCE MOVE] DAWN: Now use Ice Beam!

BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

BUNEARY: [PROUD]

MARIAN: And Buneary's made an ice slide to remember!

ASH: Yes! Way to go!

BUNEARY: [SLIDING]

DAWN: Let's keep it going! Use Dizzy Punch now!

BUNEARY: [DIZZY PUNCH MOVE]

BUNEARY: [PROUD]

ASH: Wow, that's showing them!

CONTESTA: Buneary's unique qualities were shown

in a most appealing way...

SUKIZO: That's true! Remarkable as well.

JOY: They put together a host of techniques to make a great show.

URSULA: Just like I thought. Least her attitude was good.

JESSILINA: Oh dear. Rather brusque, aren't we?

MARIAN: Now. It's on with the show!

DUSKULL: [APPEARING]

DUSKULL: [ATTACKING]

SKORUPI: [ATTACKING]

MAGCARGO: [ATTACKING]

MARILL: [ATTACKING]

MARIAN: Now. Time for our next Coordinator!

JESSILINA: I know it's a thrill for you to see me too!

JESSILINA: Yanmega, let's get this party started!

YANMEGA: [APPEARING]

JAMES: Yanmega's primed and poised!

MEOWTH: Keep primed and poisoned!

JESSILINA: Yanmega, Silver Wind!

YANMEGA: [SILVER WIND MOVE]

MARIAN: And Yanmega begins spinning a powerful Silver Wind!

JAMES: Wow. There's some windy wind.

YANMEGA: [ATACKING]

YANMEGA: [INCREASING]

MARIAN: Now that's fast!

Could this be Yanmega's legendary Speed Boost in action?

MARIAN: And off she goes spinning like a top!

BROCK: She's really showing off Yanmega well.

JESSILINA: Now Yanmega. It's time to use Sonic Boom!

YANMEGA: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

JESSILINA: Next Silver Wind!

YANMEGA: [SILVER WIND MOVE]

JESSILINA: They're loving it! And you look fab!

YANMEGA: [PLEASED]

CONTESTA: It's rare to see a Coordinator's moves used

to show off her Pokémon's qualities.

SUKIZO: It's true! Which means remarkable!

JOY: Jessilina took some risks, and they paid off.

MARIAN: Let's see what our next Coordinator's got for us!

URSULA: You haven't seen anything yet!

URSULA: Now Wormadam, let's go!

WORMADAM: [EMERGING]

ASH: Wormadam, huh?

BROCK: That Wormadam can use Ground-type moves.

I've even heard it called the "Sandy Cloak".

URSULA: Wormadam start with Confusion!

And next, use Rock Blast!

MARIAN: Moves like Rock Blast really show

what makes it the "worm of the desert!"

URSULA: GREAT! Sandstorm now!

WORMADAM: [PREPARING] / [SANDSTORM MOVE]

JESSILINA: Blah. I'm slightly impressed.

DAWN: Simple, but captivating too.

URSULA: Confusion!

WORMADAM: [CONFUSION MOVE]

ASH: Whoa what was that?

BROCK: Looks like they've worked on Confusion a lot.

MARIAN: What a surprise! Wormadam's used that Sand Storm

to make a sculpture of itself out of sand!

URSULA: Wrap it up with Captivate!

WORMADAM: [CAPTIVATE MOVE]

MARIAN: An amazing way to end an amazing routine!

CONTESTA: There are three types of Wormadam of course,

but that excellent performance put the "worm of the desert"

front and center! An amazing sight to see.

SUKIZO: Amazing, also remarkable!

JOY: It seemed like they had synchronized their breathing.

I completely loved it.

MARIAN: That's it! The end of the first stage!

And the next order of business is see who will be in Round Two.

MARIAN: Hang tight everyone! Back with the results soon!

DAWN: So g*ng, what'd you think?

BUNEARY: [HAPPY] PACHIRISU: [HAPPY]

PIPLUP: [HAPPY] PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

ASH: Wow, no one's cuter than you, Buneary!

BUNEARY: [PLEASED]

DAWN: What about you Mamoswine? What'd you think?

MAMOSWINE: [SNORING] DAWN: Aww.

ASH: Gotta say, Ursula and her Wormadam were pretty good.

DAWN: Yeah. Those two were totally in sync

when it came to using a move. Really impressive.

Ursula really showed off all of Wormadam's unique talents.

URSULA: Hmph! Surprised, are we?

Time after time we've been cut out

after only the first round, but not at this Contest!

From all that applause and cheering voices,

it looks like our efforts have finally paid off.

DAWN: Well that goes the same for us!

URSULA: Wouldn't it be sweet if we faced off in the finals?

MARIAN: Sorry to have kept you waiting so long!

And now it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for!

MARIAN: After careful consideration

our judges have chosen the eight Coordinators

who will compete in Round Two. And here they are!

MARIAN: So let's give these eight Coordinators

a big round of applause!

DAWN: We did it! Thanks to you, Buneary!

ASH: Yeah! Way to go, Dawn! AMBIPOM, PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

DAWN: Pachirisu, are you ready?

PACHIRISU: [EXCITED] PIPLUP: [ENCOURAGING]

JESSILINA: Round One's history. Now it's all me.

URSULA: So! My time has finally come!

No way Dawn's gonna change that!

JAMES: What fun! Our girl's over the hump!

MEOWTH: Yeah! With a shove from us!

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MARIAN: And now our eight semi-finalists will face off

two-by-two in Contest battles as they vie

for the coveted Chocovine Ribbon.

So with five minutes on the clock, let's go!

It's a battle, win or lose

It's the friends you make, it's the road you choose

You've got the right stuff

So make your mind up

And find the courage inside of you

If you're strong, you'll survive

And you'll keep your dream alive

Let the battle begin

Pokémon!

Be the best you can be

And find your destiny

It's the master plan

The power's in your hand

Pokémon!

MARIAN: Time's up! And the Coordinator advancing

to the final round is...

It's Ursula!

JESSILINA: This isn't the way it's supposed to happen!

No fair!

MEOWTH: She's right. Except it's no fair to us.

JAMES: Poor Carnivine!

You battled with bravery and brawn!

But we must carry on!

WOBBUFFET: [SOBBING AFFIRMATIVE]

MARIAN: And now, the Chocovine Contest moves

into its final round!

We present our two Coordinators.

To my left, it's Dawn! And to my right, Ursula!

ASH: Dawn, you can do it!

Mamoswine, guess you like Dawn after all.

MAMOSWINE: [SNORING]

MARIAN: The time will be five minutes! Begin!

DAWN: All right Pachirisu, spotlight!

PACHIRISU: [APPEARING]

URSULA: Now, Gabite! Go! Ha ha.

MARIAN: It's Pachirisu versus Gabite! One Pokémon's cute.

And one Pokémon's fierce! But which one will be the winner?

BROCK: Looks like it's going to be a tough Battle.

Pachirisu's Electric-type moves against a Ground type

like Gabite won't really be able to do much of anything!

ASH: Guess you're right Brock!

The only thing that might get in there is Super Fang!

PIPLUP: [WORRIED]

URSULA: Gabite, use Dragon Claw!

GABITE: [DRAGON CLAW MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [ASTONISHED]

GABITE: [ATTACKING] DAWN: Spin and dodge it!

PACHIRISU: [DODGING] GABITE: [SURPRISED]

URSULA: Ha! There's no escaping Gabite's incredible speed!

GABITE, PACHIRISU: [STRIKING]

DAWN: Super Fang, let's go!

PACHIRISU: [SUPER FANG MOVE]

URSULA: Use Aerial Ace!

GABITE: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]

GABITE: [ATTACKING] PACHIRISU: [GRUNT]

BROCK: There's got to be a way for Dawn to turn this around!

ASH: Dawn! Pachirisu! C'mon guys!

GABITE, PACHIRISU: [ATTACKING]

MARIAN: Gabite's using its

streamlined body to its advantage,

landing hit after hit!

URSULA: No way Pachirisu's gonna be able to show

any appeal in this last round.

Looks like the appeal is Gabite's and Gabite's alone.

DAWN: Sweet Kiss, now!

PACHIRISU: [SWEET KISS MOVE]

URSULA: Use Aerial Ace!

GABITE: [AERIAL ACE MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [PANTING]

DAWN: I've got to stay calm. There's still time.

BUNEARY, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [CHEERING]

BROCK: The judges evaluate Pachirisu on grace as well.

Dawn's just gonna have to count on that.

ASH: Maybe, but they're not gonna get many points

if they can't do any damage!

MARIAN: Less than two minutes remaining!

URSULA: I don't even need half that!

'Cause this battle's almost over! Use tone Edge!

GABITE: [STONE EDGE MOVE]

DAWN: Discharge!

PACHIRISU: [DISCHARGE MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [PLEASED]

DAWN: Awesome! You're really warming up now!

ASH: It's about time Dawn

started running the show out there.

URSULA: She should realize the Aqua Ribbon isn't a toy.

Gabite, Dragon Rage!

GABITE: [DRAGON RAGE MOVE]

DAWN: Quick, Spark!

PACHIRISU: [SPARK MOVE]

URSULA: Dragon Claw!

MARIAN: What's this?

Pachirisu stopped Dragon Claw using its tail!

I've never seen anything so brave and courageous;

truly amazing!

DAWN: Way to go! That's showing them, Pachirisu!

BROCK: Pachirisu can do that

because it stores Discharge's energy in its tail!

ASH: Pachirisu's really on!

MARIAN: Thirty seconds left on the clock!

URSULA: Stone Edge let's go!

GABITE: [STONE EDGE MOVE]

PACHIRISU: [WORRIED]

DAWN: Quick, get your tail up!

PACHIRISU: [BRACING]

DAWN: Yeah, now that's what I'm talking about.

Let's use Super Fang!

URSULA: I'm through giving up points!

Gabite, use Dragon Rage!

GABITE: [DRAGON RAGE PREPARING]

PACHIRISU: [SUPER FANG MOVE]

GABITE: [GROWLING] PACHIRISU: [ATTACKING]

GABITE, PACHIRISU: [ATTACKING]

MARIAN: Time's up!

Who gets the Chocovine Ribbon?

And the winner is Dawn!

DAWN: Yes! We won! PACHIRISU: [ELATED]

Pachirisu, we won! We really won!

PACHIRISU: [OVERJOYED]

URSULA: A perfect example of being saved by the bell.

URSULA: Dear Gabite, you were just amazing out there.

GABITE: [NUZZLING]

ASH: Awesome! They did it!

ASH: See? That's what battling's all about!

Didn't Pachirisu work hard?

MAMOSWINE: [DISINTRESTED] ASH: Mamoswine?

BROCK: Look at that! Mamoswine's starting to care!

JESSILINA: I may have gone down in defeat

but I wouldn't have missed this trip for the world!

JESSILINA: Sure! Those poses that Gabite and Wormadam struck

are just the living end! I want that.

JESSILINA: It's called growing as an artist!

And that's me.

WOBBUFFET: [AFFIRMATIVE]

MARIAN: Here's Mr. Contesta,

Chief of the Pokémon Activities Committee!

He has the distinct honor of presenting

the Chocovine Ribbon to Dawn!

CONTESTA: Congratulations again! And much luck in the future.

DAWN: Thanks!

DAWN: Wow. Thank you so much!

Yeah all right, I just won the Chocovine Ribbon.

And it's mine, all mine!

MARIAN: And with that, Ladies and Gentlemen,

we bring the curtain down on another exciting,

action-packed Chocovine Contest!

I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did,

and I'll see you all next time!

ASH: You finally got your fourth Ribbon.

BROCK: One more

and you'll be able to enter the Grand Festival.

DAWN: Yeah, but I couldn't have done it without your help!

BROCK, DAWN, ASH, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [SURPRISED]

DAWN: Ursula!

URSULA: You won't get any compliments out of me.

Not a chance!

But, you did a good job, I guess.

BROCK, DAWN, ASH, PIPLUP, PIKACHU: [AWKWARD]

DAWN: Thanks, I guess.

ASH: All right! Now it's our turn, guys!

To the Snowpoint Gym! Hope they're ready for us.

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

DAWN: I hear you! Good luck! PIPLUP: [EXCITED]

NARRATOR: Beautiful strategy, combined with fierce battling,

has finally earned Dawn her fourth Contest Ribbon,

bringing her one step closer to the Grand Festival.

The excitement builds, and the journey continues!
